About this map

The confluence of the Pleasant River and Piscataquis River anchors this Maine landscape during the early 1980s. The settlement of Milo sits at the northern edge, while the company town of Derby serves as a critical junction for the B & A railroad. This industrial rail presence contrasts with the expansive marshlands and interior waters further south, including the prominent Boyd Lake and its Cook Island.

Researchers will find a terrain defined by complex drainage systems like Freese Bog and Black Bog, which surround the scattered rural communities of Orneville and Bradford. The map documents local genealogy through the Orneville Cem and Greenwood Cem, while the Medford Lookout Tower on Medford Hill provides a vantage point over the timberlands and the Bangor and Aroostook line crossing the eastern rivers.
